PM's Campaign-iype speech Leaves Little Doubt On Election
By STEWART MacLEOD
EDMONTON (CP) Prime Minister Pearson ended a nine- day western tour here Saturday night with a rousing campaign- type speech that left little doubt in the minds of his °700 listeners that he was coming out of his corner for another general elec- tion
He used the term “‘forthcom- ing” election, before quickly correcting it to ‘‘future’’ and he also said that “in the weeks and months ahead’* he would be dealing a great deal with al- leged opposition distortions of the government's record.
The prime minister completed his nine-day sampling of British Columbia and Alberta political winds before a receptive Liberal gathering in a suburban club where he hammered away at the government's achievements, and opposition charges of weak leadership
And this, he <aid, was only-the beginning. ‘I think we are going | to face. some-tough problems ‘in the weeks and months ahead,” | he said in reference to the party. “but I feel much more confidence after the last nine days."’

Pearson Must Leave Ottawa
To Get Okay
By MICHAEL GILLAN
OTTAWA (CP) If Prime Minister Pearson decides to dis- | solve Parliament before Sept.~7 for a fall general election, he will have to go out of the cap- ital to do it.
The dissolution proclamation, must be agreed to by Governor- General Vanier. He will be at his summer home at Tadous- sac, Que., ultitil Sept. -7—except! for a visit to Montreal Aug. 30.
After Gen. Vanier's return, Mr. Pearson will have only to drive across Sussex Street to see the head of state. Their res- idences face each other.
The prime minister says he will make an announcement on an election ‘one way or the other’ after meeting his cab inet colleagues this week. In the event there is an election, he could choose to get dissolution
quietly or openly.
